Okay guys no need to worry about our best ever defender joining the team that broke our hearts in June
He’ll break the record this season I’m telling you.
He’s just breaking records left and right now, isn’t he?
Buck is not a tactile person, at least not in the way we think.
I know in fanon and fanfics, many of us (especially me) love to imagine Buck as someone who constantly presses these small touches into the ones he loves. Except, he doesn't.
Don't misunderstand, Buck thrives on physical affection. Some of his happiest moments are when he receives that form of love. Except, when he gives it, it's almost always under a specific condition.
Buck waits for near-explicit consent.
Hear me out:
It's not as if he doesn't touch people, but it's very much a needed-as situation on the job and then rare occasions such as celebrations with the team. And again, it's never those small, mindless touches of someone who just wants to physically feel someone they care for.
Even in the scariest moments, he waits.
And we can infer he accepted her permission because we see Buck this terrified for a loved one the very next season. Except, he doesn't get any request for comfort or form of consent then.
They're both obviously in critical condition. Both need medical attention immediately. Yet, Buck takes the time to hug and comfort Maddie because she asked for it.
He clearly doesn't mind either option. He's overjoyed just to see them alive. And that's the point. For Buck, these interactions aren't about him. Which is why he doesn't actively pursue them. (Not saying he shouldn't. I, personally, think he should.)
This is a perspective I think many authors can take advantage of when writing fanfiction.
I am not saying to stop writing Buck as openly tactile. I'm saying write both. Write either. Write it all. I need more of this when I search my ship.
And in case you didn't know, EDDIE is the one more openly, physically affectionate between the two of them. 100%. But that's a separate post if you want it.
Also, Buck does not hold these standards when it comes to Chris. Also another post.
The only time I could actively remember Buck touching Eddie without consent (when he wasn't saving his life). Season 2x14 "Broken". This wasn't the first time Eddie had been in danger, but it was the first time he was in danger without Buck there. They were ready to run into the house after he didn't respond on the radio. Eddie came out after his "Spiderman" routine, saving a child in the process. Buck couldn't help himself.
(Just gonna mention how the physical distance between these two has only grown after every time Eddie's needed help... Hmm...)
Taub: I really dont want to write anything. I’m pissed off. Why didn't you talk to me? Idiot. I miss you.
Thirteen: My first memory of you is when you got fired as #6. My second memory of you is when you reappeared as #9. My third is when you set the patient on fire trying to restart his heart. Later on, I was the one you confided in. About your parents. About what happened to them. I always felt there was so much more to talk about... I wish we had more time.
Letters the characters wrote for Kutner on an obituary website
This is not okay. In what world is it okay to have a weapons company be a sponsor? Not only that, the company in questions has sent tens of thousands of weapons to Israel.
Regardless of political opinions, people are being hurt by weapons ever day in Palestine and Israel, and it’s not right for a football club to endorse this type of violence.
It doesn’t matter the amount of money we are getting from this, the sponsorship should not have been considered at all. This is not my club. This is not right. It is disgusting behavior from the higher ups, and shows that all we care about now is money. Absolutely disgusting behavior.
Borussia Dortmund is betraying their fan base by throwing away their morals in favor of 20 million dollars and a small graphic on the sleeve of the shirt.
